AGERPRES signed a partnership agreement with Belgian-Romanian House Arthis of Brussels

AGERPRES special correspondent, Catalina Matei, reports: National News Agency AGERPRES and the Belgian-Romanian House Arthis have signed in Brussels a partnership agreement with reciprocal promotion of the institutions’ image as its main objective.

Arthis President, Liviu Hopartean, emphasized the importance of this document. “It is a partnership agreement that has two aspects: exchange of information, news and all that is in the domain of informations and a collaboration component to train young journalists, for partnerships in everything that means journalistic training, and for exchange of professionals in the media domain. It is a partnership in which the two parts commit to collaborate so as to broadcast important news, to use AGERPRES/Arthis broadcasts. Furthermore, it envisages journalist training in the written press and multimedia domains” said for AGERPRES Liviu Hopartean.

“I wish that the agreement signed today between AGERPRES and Arthis be the first in a series of such partnerships that the Agency will develop to support Romanian diaspora. I believe that support for Romanian quality press abroad represents in fact a helping hand extended toward the community so that they may improve Romanians’ image outside the country’s borders. It is a medium to long-term project, a very important project for AGERPRES, in a moment when the economic crisis’ ramifications for the Romanian mass media abroad are hard to bear without help from the country” mentioned in his turn AGERPRES General Director Alexandru Giboi.
